PQ 108
108. Deputy Peter Roche asked the Minister for Education and Youth if a Departmental review of the current threshold-based eligibility process for spelling and grammar waivers in State examinations, including the use of a fixed standardised spelling score cut-off, is being considered to ensure it reflects the needs of students with diagnosed learning difficulties; whether an appeals or discretionary mechanism exists for cases where students may be excluded despite a formal diagnosis; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
